SCOTLAND striker Lyndon Dykes isn’t afraid of a bit of physicality when leading the line for his country.
So perhaps he was looking for some inspiration as he took in a huge WWE event in London.

Dykes, 29, joining Birmingham City in the summer after four years at QPR.
And a few months on from his departure from London, he was back in the UK’s capital earlier this week.
Dykes took in Monday’s WWE Live event at the O2 Arena with the company’s biggest stars appearing.
But in adorable twist, Dykes’ son Tiime ended up BEING one of the stars of the show!
Former Livingston frontman Dykes took to social media to share several pictures from his night at the wrestling.
He said :”What a night @wweuk. Special memories.”
And what a special night it was for his little boy who had the chance to not only meet his favourite WWE superstar – but also JOIN him when he made his grand entrance into the packed-out arena.
Dykes’ pictures show his son dressed up as Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, wearing a Cody Rhodes T-shirt and sporting a jacket similar to the one the wrestling superstar wears to the ring.
And that effort didn’t go unnoticed either!
A video posted by the Scotland striker shows ‘The American Nightmare’ Cody, currently the biggest star in WWE, picking Tiime out from the crowd to join him for his entrance to the ring.
The thrilled kid can then be seen joining Cody, wearing his dazzling championship belt, with both making the wrestler’s signature pose on the entrance ramp with the crowd singing along to his theme song.
In another Instagram picture, Cody can be seen posing for a picture with Dykes and his son – and it looks like the footie ace enjoyed his night just as much as his kid!
One follower on Instagram joked: “I can’t tell who enjoyed it more, you or T?”
A fan wrote: “Unreal that.”
A third posted: “Oh this is the best!”
Dykes was this week named in the Scotland squad for his country’s final two Nations League matches later this month.
Steve Clarke‘s side will take on Croatia and Poland as they look to boost World Cup seeding hopes AND avoid relegation to the next Nations League tier.
